1. Set a Clear Goal

Let people know exactly what you're raising money for and how their support will help. Setting a fundraising target gives your supporters something to aim for and keeps you motivated!

2. Shout About It

Use your social media platforms, local community groups, and work or school newsletters to spread the word. Don’t be shy — people love supporting a good cause, especially when they see your passion!

3. Make It Personal

Share your story — why you chose Sparkle and what it means to deeper level.

4. Plan Ahead

Think about what you’ll need — location, materials, volunteers, permissions — and give yourself plenty of time to promote your event or challenge. A little preparation goes a long way.

5. Keep It Simple

The best ideas are often the easiest to organise — a bake sale, coffee morning, dress-down day, or sponsored walk. Pick something you’ll enjoy, and that suits your audience.

6. Take Photos & Share Updates

Capture the fun along the way! Posting updates, behind-the-scenes snaps, and countdowns builds excitement and encourages more donations. Don't forget to tag us so we can cheer you on!

7. Ask for Help

Get friends, family, or colleagues involved. Fundraising is more fun (and often more successful) as a team effort — and others might have great ideas to add too!

8. Make Donating Easy

Set up an online Just Giving donation page or QR code to make giving quick and simple. People are more likely to donate if they can do it in just a few clicks! See our Justgiving page

9. Celebrate Your Success

When your fundraiser is over, don’t forget to thank your supporters and share how much you raised. It shows your appreciation and inspires others to take part in future!
